i certainly could use the african ones

Master Kodama · Nov 25, 2004

Wow, those are nice, Ekmek. I just might have to convert a few that might be useful. But anyone can feel free to beat me to it

1812 - City Graphics pack

I've decided to do a pack of single era (of course) cities for 1812.

So far, for sure it will include:

- British / French
- Spanish
- German / Austrian
- Russian
- United States (which will also serve as the industrial age in my US cities

)

And the first preview, of British / French cities. No metropolis, yet.

very nice!
a bit too medieval perhaps...

I like the architecture you've used, but I think the cities could benefit from some color -- unless, of course, your aim is to portray "England's dark Satanic mills".

Best,

Perhaps....
But the reason for this (although I'm no expert) is that in Europe, Many centres still retained most of their medieval era buildings by 1812, and in fact, many still do today. For making cities from the dawn of the industrial age, especially for europe, I make the smaller ones almost medieval looking, while the larger ones progress into more industrial looking cities. Thanks for pointing this out.

Your right, they could use some colour. I wouldn't like my cities to be all dark and boring looking. How does this look:

RedAlert · Nov 29, 2004

Thanks everyone

How are these for german / austrian cities? Yeah, yeah, I know, they're the same as the last ones, just different colours, but....
I got lazy

But I promise, the rest will be unique

Anyway, the preview is at the bottom of the page. You can ignore this next part if you want, It's just to help me remember:

Whats with the Roman columns? I wasn't aware that any buildings in Europe had the Roman columns other than in Greece and Italy

Neo-Classical architecture. Basically, starting off in the late 1700s, Europe got into a greco - roman craze, which strongly influenced art, architecture, and literature, among other things. The 'movement' also spread to the americas; in fact, Washington D.C. for example has many fine examples of Neo-Classical architecture. Just look at any picture of the downtown of any major European city, and you'll be hard-pressed not to find Neo-Classical style buildings

Edit: Here's an example I scrounged up: The Royal Scottish Academy Building in Edinburgh. It is buildings such as these that has earned Edinburgh the nickname "Athens of the North"

Sword_Of_Geddon · Nov 29, 2004

Yet another reason why the Meditarrean and European groups aren't different enough to warrant two different groups.

RedAlert · Nov 29, 2004

Agreed. Unless, of course, it were possible to add more culture groups.

Sword_Of_Geddon · Nov 29, 2004

Thats one feature I want more than anything. I just wish it were possible.

By the way, any ideas on the Ancient US cities? Maybe a Pilgrim/Puritan look? Some Log Cabins and a Church?
